FOUNDING FAMILY STORY

On a sunny summer day in 1965, Joel Pritchard and his friends came back to his home on Bainbridge Island after a wonderful day of playing golf.
It was that day something magical happened - the game of Pickleball was born. We honor the legacy of the sport and creators Joel and Joan Pritchard with J.Pritchard, a heritage brand that combines classic style and modern comfort for those who play in life.
